Literary Giveaway Blog Hop: June 25-29

If I had to describe my blog in one word, it would definitely be “miscellany.” I love classics and modern literary fiction. But I also read boatloads of non-fiction. And mysteries – especially vintage mysteries. And contemporary lit in Spanish, as well as translations from other languages.

When it came to picking a gift for the Leeswammes’ Literary Giveaway Blog Hop, I decided to let you decide. So I’m giving away one book by ANY AUTHOR that I have reviewed on Col Reads, as long as the cost is under US$25, the book is available through Book Depository (or Amazon if the winner is in the US), and the winner lives in a country where Book Depository delivers. There is a list of every book reviewed on Col Reads under the “Review Central” tab. But remember, you’re not limited to those books – any book written by one of the authors I’ve reviewed is on the table!

Giveaway Rules:1. Anyone can enter. You do not need to have a blog.2. You can participate as long as you live where Book Depository offers free delivery.3. All you have to do is 1) be a follower and 2) leave a comment with your email address to enter.4. You can enter the giveaways until June 29th. I will close the giveaway when I turn on my computer on June 30th (Eastern Daylight time).5. Note that double or invalid entries will be removed.6. Each valid entrant will be assigned a number. The winning entry will be picked by random.org7. I will notify the winners by email. The winner must answer my email within 3 days, or I’ll announce a new winner.8. Have a great time discovering new blogs and thanks for participating.

I hope you enjoy the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop! Please make sure you check out these other participating blogs:

Hi there! I actually can't use google friend connect but I've added you to my google reader and hope that counts. I've been meaning to read the Peculiar Sadness of Lemon Cake for ages and this would be perfect! Thank you very much, Lyndsey

My mom has been sick, so I never got around to signing up to participate in the Literary Giveaway Blog Hop. I have a June Giveaway going on this month at my blog, and I'd love to invite you to stop by and throw your name in the hat for this book! It's a US giveaway only this month, but next month, I'll be offering an international giveaway for an Amazon card.

One of the things I really like about blog hops like this one is discovering great blogs I migt not find otherwise. Your blog looks really interesting & cool. I loved the eclectic mix of books in your review list!

Thank you for a very generous giveaay. I'm now a GFC follower of your blog!

Thanks for your generosity, and for participating in this blog hop! I love a whole lot of the books that you've reviewed, but seeing as you've reviewed "Asleep" by Banana Yashimoto (a book I really liked), I'd love to win "The Lake" by Banana Yashimoto, if I am lucky enough to win. Again, thank you very much, and hope you have a wonderful week! :D

Awesome! I choose Cutting for Stone (Abraham Verghese) - because ... on my last trip to Borders, this one was in my arms ... but then I actually looked down and saw that my "I'll just pick up two books or so" resolution had me at EIGHT books (five of which I ended up buying), and this one went back on teh shelf, and then the next day, I read a review that made me want to smack myself for it!
